"B & M Painters were wonderful!  They were friendly, polite, and did a superb job.  They cleaned up after themselves and were careful not to get stain anywhere but where it should be.  We would be willing to pay a premium for service like this but their price was competitive if not even a little lower than two other contractors we received estimates from.  We would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone.

"Great experience from receiving quote to revising estimates to getting the job done. Quality was excellent and professional. There were a few places where paint had gotten onto our wood trim and they were able to get it cleaned up immediately. Only area for improvement was estimating how much paint was needed. We had to make 3 trips to the paint store over 2 days because they kept needing more paint!"

"Juan was extremely professional from start to finish. He knew exactly what my weathered and tired outdoor porch/deck needed in terms of power washing, stain and paint. I am very pleased with his work. He was flexible with scheduling, took care of getting all supplies, and his crew worked quickly and expertly in staining and painting my outdoor porch/deck. They cleaned up after themselves, and left everything the way they found it (hoses, furniture, etc.). Juan was also willing to work with me on pricing for the job, which I greatly appreciated!"

"We had a wonderful experience with Five Star Painting. We had a large painting job that included most of the interior of the house, and the kitchen cabinets. We got several estimates and Five Star's was by far the most detailed and easy to understand. We were able to get on the schedule quickly and the team completed the job in 4 days. The crew was friendly and incredibly professional. They cleaned up every day. Their work was immaculate and the results are stunning. We are so grateful to Jon, Laura, Felix, and the crew for helping to make our new house feel like home. We will definitely use them in the future."

"I have a single family home, with a walkout basement. I had Kris Painting repaint 21 windows, with two sliding glass doors with aluminum trim. They sanded, scraped, primed, and painted all windows and doors."

"Jeff met with me several times and made sure of every detail before starting the job. He and his dad and crew were great! They went above and beyond my expectations. They were able to start the job early and finished exactly when he said they would. They painted our house, garage, storage shed, stained the fence and deck. Terrific job! Many thanks!"

He came by Thanksgiving morning to give us a quote and had the job done a week later! Very professional and efficient!"

FAQs for painting projects in Waterford, VA

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.

Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.

Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.

You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.

Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.

Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
